They suffered an injury that is disfiguring, disabling or will leave them with a permanent injury.

Dog bites- Minnesota has strict liability rules when it comes to animal attacks and dog bites, which means that the animal’s owner is liable for any injuries caused by their pet whether they have a history of aggressive behavior. If you were trespassing when you were injured or did not have permission to be on someone’s property, you might encounter issues with liability.

Claims against the government- If your injury is the result of negligence on behalf of an on-duty government employee, you have a limited time to begin the claims process.

It should also be noted that personal injury suits against government entities are challenging and complex, so you need to get legal advice.
